383: Chapter 383 Eternal Night Immortal City

[In the twenty-eighth year, under the hundredfold acceleration of the xuantian treasure mirror, you made a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Late Stage.]

[In the thirty-fifth year, under the hundredfold acceleration of the xuantian treasure mirror, you reached Soul Transformation Perfection.]

[In the fortieth year,]

[Under the hundredfold acceleration of the xuantian treasure mirror, you used the Limitless Primordial Chaos Art to Cultivate your Divine Soul to Perfection as well.]

[Both your Realm and Divine Soul have reached Perfection.]

[At this point, you are at the Soul Transformation Peak.]

["The True Spiritual Root is indeed extraordinary; even comprehending the Laws has become much easier!" The divine light in your eyes receded as you whispered to yourself.]

[The Law meridians that were once as obscure as celestial scripts, requiring immense effort just to catch a glimpse of, now felt much clearer to perceive.]

[This feeling was very special.]

[It was like someone who had lived in a valley their whole life finally climbing over the first mountain ridge.]

[Looking back, the path taken was narrow and winding; what once seemed like the entire world was merely an insignificant step beneath your feet.]

[This was not the ecstasy of sudden wealth, but a shock that brought near-clarity.]

[Shocked by the vastness of heaven and earth, and even more shocked by the... limitations of having been trapped at the bottom of a well without knowing it.]

[You exhaled gently, your breath long and steady, no longer having the violent fluctuations of past Breakthroughs.]

[The road is still long, but at least you are now standing at a higher starting point.]

["The most urgent matter right now is to obtain a method for the Void Refining Breakthrough," you thought to yourself.]

[During the last simulation, Qin Yang only gave a general overview without specific methods; in the end, it was like looking at flowers through a fog.]

[After much thought, you remembered the tianshu giant eye.]

[That old monster could even produce the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique; it surely possesses a mere Void Refining method as well.]

[Furthermore, the stronger you are, the greater the hope of helping it escape; there are only benefits and no drawbacks for it.]

[Just as you were about to set off, the dormant "Covenant Jade Pendant" on your person suddenly grew warm, emitting a soft white light.]

[With a thought, you took it out and injected a streak of spiritual light into the jade pendant.]

[As the spiritual light entered the jade pendant, it immediately projected a clear light screen.]

[On the light screen, two portraits outlined by spiritual light first appeared—]

[One old and one young, their faces clear.]

[Your gaze fell upon the light screen and paused slightly.]

[These two faces... you had seen them before.]

[On the streets of Tianshu City, that arrogant child and that unfathomable white-haired elder.]

[Below the light screen, lines of text slowly appeared; it was the content of this "Covenant."]

[Target: Yongye Star, Eternal Night Immortal City.]

[Assassinate: Yun Xiaozi (image on the right, child).]

[Companions: Nine Spirit Transformation Cultivators (identities hidden).]

[Additional Support: One Mahayana Venerable will be responsible for restraining the elder (image on the left, elder).]

[Timing: When the Mahayana Venerable restrains the elder, you all must strike immediately and work together to assassinate the target child. It must be a fatal blow, leaving no future troubles.]

[The text was concise, yet it carried a cold, unquestionable Killing Intent.]

["Yun Xiaozi... so that child is called by this name." You whispered to yourself, your gaze falling once more on the image of the elder. "To need a Mahayana Cultivator to restrain him... he really is a Mahayana."]

[A sense of lingering fear passed through your heart.]

[Fortunately, you had sensed something was wrong in Tianshu City and withdrew immediately, not daring to use your Divine Sense to investigate recklessly.]

[Otherwise, being targeted by a Mahayana Cultivator would have led to unimaginable consequences.]

["Langgan Pavilion... they actually made such a huge scene." You frowned slightly, staring at the image of the Yun Xiaozi. "Deploying a Mahayana to restrain someone, plus ten Spirit Transformation Cultivators joining forces to kill a child... this arrangement is a bit too extravagant."]

["Just what is the background of this Yun Xiaozi?"]

["To make Langgan Pavilion so wary that they would even use a Mahayana Venerable to eliminate him?"]

[But on second thought, it seemed to make some sense.]

[A Prodigy who reached the Soul Transformation Peak at such a young age—no matter what power stands behind him, his very existence is a massive variable.]

[Perhaps he touched Langgan Pavilion's sore spot or core interests somewhere, in some way.]

[You put away the Covenant Jade Pendant, and the light screen dissipated.]

[These waters are deeper than you thought.]

[But since the "Covenant" has been accepted and the "payment" of world origin has been received, this task likely cannot be refused.]

["Yongye Star, Eternal Night Immortal City... Yun Xiaozi." You muttered thoughtfully.]

[Ten-odd days later,]

[You arrived at Yongye Star, Eternal Night Immortal City.]

[This place is at the westernmost edge of the Zixiao Immortal Domain. Further out lies the vast and boundless Haotian Demon Domain, thick with Devilish Qi.]

[Because it is located on the border and is constantly influenced by the intertwining powers of both sides, the star rotates slowly, making the days short and the nights long, hence the name "Yongye."]

[Also, because it borders the Demon Domain, it is a place of mixed dragons and snakes with no order, where danger and Opportunity grow wildly.]

[You walked along the somewhat rough streets of the Immortal City, stained with unknown marks, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.]

[The sight in the sky left a deep impression on you.]

[Half of the sky was a clear pale green, flowing with the gentle and orderly Spiritual Qi aura unique to the Immortal Domain, with clouds rolling and unfurling, and the faint outlines of the sun and moon visible.]

[The other half was Devilish Qi so thick it wouldn't disperse, rolling and surging like a living ocean of malice, sometimes gathering into hideous demonic shadows, sometimes turning into howling undercurrents.]

[Spiritual Qi and Devilish Qi, two completely different and mutually repellent energies of heaven and earth, formed an incredibly clear dividing line here, cutting the firmament into two worlds.]

[At that dividing line, energies clashed and annihilated violently, sparking silent thunder and tiny spatial cracks, even distorting the light.]

[Half Immortal Domain, half Demon Domain.]

[Although Eternal Night Immortal City was shrouded in night, the city was a different sight.]

[Countless strangely shaped spiritual lamps, talisman fires, and floating orbs of light illuminated the streets and alleys as bright as day.]

[You restrained your aura and walked unhurriedly through the crowd like an ordinary Loose Cultivator, but your Divine Sense had already locked onto a commotion coming from an alleyway ahead.]

[That was exactly where the Yun Xiaozi was.]

[By now, several layers of onlookers had already surrounded the entrance of the alley.]

[In the center of the open space lay a dozen or so corpses that were still warm, blood snaking across the ground, not yet dry.]

[Two of the corpses were particularly striking—a white-haired old woman and a fair-faced young girl who had lost her life.]

[They were dressed simply, looking out of place among the corpses wearing uniform attire, clearly dressed as guards.]

[The Yun Xiaozi stood in the middle of the pool of blood.]

[His small body was now emitting a heart-clenching Killing Intent, and one foot was stepping heavily on the face of a Young Master in fine clothing.]

[The Young Master's face was distorted from being stepped on, half of it sunken into the blood and filth on the ground.]
